If it weren't for the fact that the last few pages have been so romantic, I would of been laughing at the fact that Bisharp is being ordered around by a Pawniard, heh heh~ Now that I think about it... has Bisharp ever said "thank you" before? Well, obviously probably never this sincerely, but, ever? Ah well, I'm sure Amy will answer that. As for Tori, this page marks the beginning where her heart of "stone" begins to melt~ and she doesn't seem to be very acquainted with the feeling either, so things may get interesting from here on between Bisharp and Tori. This is also one of the rare rare times Tori ever smiles like that~ Though the romantic moment has already reached its peak in this comic (for now), the climax of the comic itself has not. There's PLENTY of more to see, folks, so stay tuned for the rest!!

Gee, thanks a lot for ruining the moment, Tori! *sarcasm* No really, considering how she has yet to learn what love truly means in this comic, that's an appropriate reaction for her. And as for whether Bisharp ever said "Thank you" before, he probably did...I just don't remember off the top of my head when, because it was NEVER as sincere as it is on this page. And you know why he's so submissive to her now? That's his way of proving to her that he truly loves her, because he's never like that with anyone else.

Oh, and I might as well give everyone a news update: There won't be any new pages from this coming Wednesday to the next Sunday since I'll be at home on Thanksgiving break (and five days jam-packed with activities just doesn't justify carrying along a big heavy tablet). In the meantime, I'll be working on...another mission story, but in prose, and with illustrations to go with it. Look forward to it!

your comic is splendid! ^^ I love how you two are utilizing your characters to make everything so interesting. Both Tori and Bisharp are really fun/interesting characters Lipless too, but I just have a thing for the steel types

But of course! Crim already had it figured out from the start that it's the characters that can elevate a mission comic far beyond just merely satisfying the mission objectives, something I didn't necessarily figure out until Mission 6 (which was when she first joined anyway), so that's another major reason why I wanted to collab with her in the first place.

A great pleasure, though the odds were amazingly astronomical to the point this collaboration feels incredibly uncanny, I am ever so happy/grateful/ and feel SUPER lucky to NOT only get to partner up with someone as cool as Amy here, but that the circumstances the group leaders established for Mission 7 had given me and Amy's characters a very RARE opportunity. Really! I am absolutely CERTAIN things would of never turned out the way they have now in this comic had Ralts and Bandit the Shuppet been present. I imagine there would of been some pretty tense conflict between the teams. So thank you so much for enjoying me and Amy's comic so far!

*goes to youtube to listen to that song* ...... Holy crap, you're right! *might get that song for my MP3 later~ thanks~!* Though if you'd like to know what I thought was a fitting song for the moment (and for the "ending credits" of this comic), try your ears to the lyrics of this song~ ^u^ [link]

I'd say it's a little early for that song...well unless you're saying that Bisharp is the one singing it because I don't think Tori feels 'naked' yet, just confused. But I'm glad you liked my song owo and I liked your song as well it was pretty.

I dunno? He's trying to somehow contain the overwhelming emotion in his heart right now, and is actually secretly grateful that Tori volunteered to continue the job so he could dwell on his thoughts while looking after Lipless. (Maybe even secretly sorry for all the times that he might have "mistreated" her?)

Haha, really? That's definitely how I saw it (and why I was thrilled to see how you plotted the layouts out, showing him to be like this). Now that I think about it, he's definitely secretly sorry for all the times he "mistreated" both Lipless AND Tori.

Oh yeah, and on your Table of Contents, whose heart were you referring to when you called it, "A Heart of Stone Finally Melted"? And why?

Well of course! This IS a very tender special moment, it deserves to be portrayed in such a way~!

As for table of contents... huh... I was originally referring to Tori, but now that I think about it, it can work both ways. I'll tell you what, I'm going to rename that bit to "The Melting Of Hearts" or something like that. I'll rename it now~! (and likely rename it again when I can think of something more catchy~ )

Bandit's going to feel like a third wheel when he gets back, wondering what went on between Tori and Bisharp. Not to mention a bit famished if he hasn't got a decent fill of negative emotions in the past.
